Christina and I are strong believers that romance doesn’t have to rely on big gestures or extravagant gifts. In fact, it shouldn’t.
On this page, you’ll find how we find romance in the everyday with lifestyle stories, handy gift guides and a few things that bring us joy.

A dog’s life, a pizza celebration and a curry fest
January 22, 2018
Summer is really coming on here in Sydney. The sky’s a lot clearer than last week and a prolonged heat wave is on the horizon. I don’t know if this has had any more of an impact on how much our furry house guest – Indi the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier – sleeps, but she’s
Sun, rain, gin and dogs
January 15, 2018
It’s been one of those rare peaceful starts to the year for us. Rare indeed. But since starting back in the office, our inboxes have stayed mercifully unpeppered, our phones have been reasonably quiet and our social commitments relatively undisturbed.

A birthday, a Christmas and a pavlova pair
January 9, 2018
And like that, it was all over. As we force the box of decorations box back into storage for another year and the last of the pine needles gets sucked up the vacuum cleaner, we reflect on the Christmas and NYE just gone. Early January is always a funny time of year, isn’t it? Hard

Christmas parties, puppies and a new local burger joint opens
December 4, 2017
And like that we’ve got only 2 full weekends before Christmas! WTF. I mentioned in last Friday’s newsletter last Friday’s newsletter that I liked December because it feels like a short month. I think I should probably take that back. This month is looking just a bit too short for me. But in spite of
